So what exactly is creativity?

We often understand creativity in terms of creating something completely new or unconventional. But when we talked to students, we found that creativity to them, is more about having the drive and the freedom to create. Why do so many of us feel we are not “creative”? Is it because we don't know what we really want? Or do we know what we want, but we feel like we are not allowed to give it a try?

This short documentary is an attempt to explore what creativity is and what we can do about it. The six speakers in the film - an inventor, entrepreneur, psychologist, designer, activist and yoga teacher - will share their thoughts on what creativity means to them and their unique drive to create in the society we live in.
